Having traveled to Europe last year, I was struck by the ingenuity and modern elegance of the smaller wind farms in the countryside. The views inspired me to create an original work of art that might demonstrate how beautiful a small number of large towers can be. I'm sending some of this edition out to businesses and individuals on both sides of the current debate on Vermont wind power generation.

I feel that our current electric needs are met at a cost of tremendous physical impact, locally and globally. Wind power's greatest impact is visual and local only. I see that cost as a visual enhancement of Vermont's independent spirit.

Let the small wind farm spirit work in Vermont. If we can keep the electricity, control and profits in state, I feel that wind towers will enhance the Vermont cachet of independent spirit and natural beauty.

Sincerely,
Mike Gauthier
